#1045 - Access Denied for User 'root'@'localhost' (Using Password: YES)

This error message indicates that the root user is unable to access MySQL using the specified password. This can occur due to several reasons.

One potential cause is incorrect password. In this case, you can reset the root password using the following steps:

1. Open a command prompt and enter the following command to log in as root:

   mysql -u root -p

2. Enter the current password when prompted.

3. Once logged in, execute the following command to set a new password:

   UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';

   Replace 'MyNewPass' with your desired password.

4. Save the changes and exit the command prompt.
5. Edit the 'config.inc.php' file and update the root password value to 'MyNewPass'.

Another possible cause of the error is incorrect configuration in 'config.inc.php'. Check if the following settings are correct:

• $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] should be set to 'localhost'
• $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] should be set to 'root'
• $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] should be set to the correct root password

If you have tried the above steps and the error persists, try restarting the MySQL service and ensure that no other services are conflicting with MySQL.
